OUR TRANSFORMED CITIES

Mr. llnmlln U nn nrt connoisseur nnd n

Ifeiirdings .i:ul ilaniins ndMU'tisunientH, he
has bad the temerity te proclaim tin ar

our municipal development tiurpncslng that
of nil ether nations today.
What does it all mean? Have the- profes
sional Jeremiahs misled us, nnd are we nc
tunll building better than we knew?
In an ewnt. Mr Hamlin's verdict,
which .s presumably sincere. Is worth ex

it is of course, incontestable Mint certain

Hut. nMde from Mm inspirational and
picturesque npi cnl of iheir nntlfiultlps nnd
historical survival, there nre net n few
I'urepi-.iii cities of which it may be said
thin their development bin been unbeauti
fill and clum-llv planned.
Modern Heme Is a strange hodge-pedge
of styles, Mijgpstlnc at times what hns been
called a br'imn.ngem Paris nnd at ethers u
dubious adventure in "art neuvenu." Parts
of lilrmliighnm, Manchester nnd Liverpool
are ruthlessly ugly and profoundly depress
ing. The glaring white sltieee of almost
treclc'-s Athens imparts the lden of an ex
position te he demolished tomorrow.
Skillful romanticists have "Interpreted"

ists are ev n te be found who bewail the
spacious and eniivenieiit Kingsway and who
contend thnt the hph tdld new County Coun

the Thames mi the Surrey side.
Hut wliatevtr their blunder.-, and they
are manv . If i-.inmii be denied that Amcr
it tin urban temmiinlties have for some years
cultivated and m mini' ctcnt, upheld
standards of municipal beauty and artistic
progress. There mv few ilttes in the conn cenn
tr.i which tnniiet show in vv boulevards,
gardens, jiarks, public buildings and cein-m-'i-iial
structures in which taste and ar
tistic aspiration are manifest.
Mr Hnmlln, it should be imied, did net
maintain thnt American cities were tha
most beautiful in the Merld Thnt conten
tion would Le absurd. Hut thnt the develop
ment here is mere vital nnd en a lurger
scale than, with mine exceptions, it Is
abroad i an assertion et which evidence
exists.
It will iint harm the American public,
with us queer blend of .i-siitnuis. and hu

THK number uf women who nre taking up
smoking In this country Is net nearly se
great as In Knglnnd.
And et cigarette (smoking by the gentler
sex has been far mere prevalent In the
United States in the Inst qunrter of n ccn
tury Mum has bcn commonly supposed.
Heme .vents nge .Mrs. Kdnn M. Mulr was
sued for u cigarette bill by a New Yerk
tobacconist.
The bill wns for 2100 clgnrcttes.
That the lndv uneked because she liked
it is shown by the fact that she, according
te the dealer, favored the largest size.
Three and etie-qiturter Inches long was
their bibc ntid generously thick, with geld
tlpi.
Whether or net clgarettcB nre injurleua te
the fair sex is n meet question.
Ter years there was nn outcry ngalnst
their tie by boys, but one doesn't hear ranch
jiewnda.vM of their use by glrK
Anti-clgarelte societies seem te have gene
into eclipse--temporarily, at least.
Till: suit against Mis. Mulr led te some
Intel est lug calculations.
It was said thut the lady nnd her frlcnda
consumed 2100 cigarettes a month, seventy
every dny.
This would make, if converted Inte one
big dgnrette, a roll of tobnece nnd paper
about as high ns the City Hnll tower.
As te the ether phase of the habit, it was ;
estimated Hint encii cignrette of that sue
represented nbeut thirty-six inhalations of
Miiekc,
This would menu 2520 dally or 75,000
every thirty days.
It Is presumed thnt every drnft carried
n minute proportion of nicotine.
With nearly a million inhnlatiens a year,
earning a proportion of nicotine, the
amount of this poison tnken into the system
would be something appalling.
Hut all this assumption Is knocked aky
blgh by the fnct that after years of Indul
gence Mrs. Mulr was a decidedly hcnlthy
woman.
CITY COCNCII. has voted 3000 toward
celebrating the centennial' of the birth
of Leuis Pasteur
It is posflble thnt several memhera had te
rend up en the subject before they could
vote Intelligently.
Anyhow the money has been denntcd, and
Hint's the end of it.
Philadelphia . which i recognized as the
center of medical education en the Western
Hemisphere, should celebrate the event with
due snleinnitv and honor.
Pasteur is general! acknowledged ns the
scientist te whom we ewe the germ theory
of disease.
He was born en December 27, 1822, the
son of a tanner
HH WAS net. however, the pioneer In the
world of "the Infinitely little."
The first te cnlch a glimpe into the
realms of germ life wa the old Dutch
naturalist. I.ecuwenlieek
He died in 1 7"'.i. u few months less Minn
n hundred years before Pasteur wns born.
Whnt he first saw with the nid of his
microscope were the bacteria found in the
saliva of the mouth.
A little later he found mlcro-ergnnlsms In
the teeth.
Antheny v.m Leeinvenheek did net at
tempt te ascribe any function te these bnc
teria. About nil his discovery amounted le wns
te revive tin- old theory of the "spontaneous
generation of life."
It was Pasteur who developed the germ
theory of disease.
Sir Jeseph I.Nter established the practice
of antiseptic surgcrv through Pasteur's dis
coveries. The great I'ii-ih hmiin is one of humanity's
most eminent benel'ni ters.
DIUL'CTOU CAVLN, or the Department

system is i.ppnicnt te the most cnsunl ob

worth nil the effort of vears en the pnrt of

In Me itdlcctieii of rubbish und ahes
